art

Art is a diverse range of human activities involving the creation of visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), which express the creator's imagination, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Other activities related to the production of works of art include art criticism and the history of art.

The three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts.

Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. 现在: arts and crafts = 工艺美术，手工业。

Bachelor of Arts is a degree conferred on a person who has successfully completed his or her undergraduate studies, usually in a branch of the liberal arts or humanities [文科或人文学科].

Bachelor of Arts and Science is an undergraduate bachelor's degree conferred by a small number of English-speaking universities. In the United States, the degree is meant to be a four-year degree, but many students will take five years to complete the program. Technically speaking, it is not an example of a double degree, as universities only confer a single degree.
